Santa, I Believe Layout

 I am a recent 12x12 scrapper and this is a layout that I made.  Still getting used to the bigger size, but I love having more room.

Love 12x12 Heart Layout

 I saw something similar to this online and just loved it so I made my own file and here is the page.  I don't have a photo of me and my hubby to put on it yet, but just love how this layout turned out.  This 12x12 stuff is fun!

August 2021 Year in Review Layout

 So my friend challenged me to do a 2 or 4 page layout for each month to get more photos in the book and to not stress about having time to do them all.  She asked me to pick my favorite photos from the month and scrapbook them.  Then some of the memories would be preserved even if I never made it to scrapbooking all of them.  I loved this idea.  This is my August layout.  I am making progress!  And as an extra bonus, I was able to join these challenges.

Snowy Day Layout

Some times you get lucky.  I had these cutouts and they matched perfectly with this scrapbook paper that I have.  It sure made for a quick and easy page.  Sometimes, it's the little things that make you smile.  Love the Christmas lights that my son put on his head.  Silly boy.  Sure do love him.  He brings such love and joy into our home.  So grateful for him.

With Sympathy Card

I just got this new Stampin Up Birds and Branches set and decided to make a sympathy card.  I just love these little birds.  We just lost my niece to covid so I made this card for my brother and his wife and thought I would tuck in a check to help with the funeral costs.  I figured that money in this case in lieu of flowers would be appropriate.  I am so over covid and so sad that it is here to stay.  My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones due to this awful virus.  No everyone suffers a loss, but in our case, we did.  I think these birds make a pretty card and look forward to using them again.

Farm stamped card

 I have a friend that just lost her husband.  I have been sending her periodic cards to check in on her.  This is one I made.  One of my first attempts with alcohol markers.  Not the best but kinda fun.
